OK, I finally scraped up the money and am putting my FPTV together. Projector will be Boxlight 38T (Sanyo XP21N clone), screen width is limited to 86". I also have a Panamorph on order and expect delivery late August. Will use the new Panny RP91 or a Kenwood depending on what the upcoming DVD shootout says.
System use will be almost exclusively for watching movies though I may add digital cable later.
If I use a 16:9 screen, the Panamorph will always have to be in place. As it stands now, none of the equipment will be able to do a "reverse squeeze" on 4:3 material which would allow the Panamorph to display it full height on the 16:9 screen. If I use a 4:3 screen, I can slide the Panny over on its rails and illuminate the full screen.
Which screen size to use? Your comments and suggestions please!
